Benigna Ngulfundi heard there were fresh bags in town with designs by local artists - and headed into @merrepenarts to check them out. She chose a Nancy bag featuring Bradley Parling’s Wildflower print.
Darwin peeps - Merrepen Arts will be at @tactilearts Makers Market this Sunday 20th July with fabrics AND bags.

It gives me such joy that mob love @flyingfoxfabrics bags 🥰

Happy Monday. Back on the print table and Nola’s the videographer today and @kieren_karritpul is boss printer. This sweet design is Billabong by Patricia McTaggart. We’re still making our way through the screens at @merrepenarts to check them and, happily, this one is fine to print. Im spending three days a week (Monday - Wednesday) here as Interim/Change Manager and loving it. Such a privilege to collaborate and learn with this awesome bunch of people.

Lucy’s off to the Darwin NAIDOC Ball in Darwin tonight. She made a last minute purchase of this Zara M clutch online - Billabong print by Patricia McTaggart of @merrepenarts - to accessorise her outfit . Lucky she lives nearby so could pick up this morning. Have a wonderful night x

So blessed I got to spend the morning at Tactile Arts with these two amazing ladies - @jesrosalie and @elizabethmartinartist at the @babbarradesigns and @tharanginistudio exhibition. Last day to see it!! Jess created the award winning textile partnership project that saw a collaboration between Indian and Australian artisans to create woodblocks from Lino print tiles. Liz installed the exhibition in Darwin, it was curated by Tharangini Studio and Jess and originally exhibited in Bangalore, India. Fingers crossed it will tour.

Spending some time with the sights, sounds and air currents of the extraordinarily beautiful collaborative textile exhibition Karri-djarrk-durrkmirri (We work together) by @tharanginistudio and @babbarradesigns at @tactilearts gallery 😍

So good.

Barbara came back!!! She’s earned herself Chief Fan status with her most recent purchase of 3 Delia bags. “I love them. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to using a normal bag again!” she told us - which we’ll take as a compliment. Two were gifts and one to add to her collection. She found Angilyiya Mitchell’s Kapi Tjukurla (Rockholes) from @papulankutjaartists + Maria Brown’s Pamapardu (Flying Ant) and Jeannie Lewis’ Mina Mina Jukurrpa - both Warlpiri artists who paint for @warlu_art

Caught Amali at our pop-up wearing a beautiful @hello_chook dress made from remnants … can you spot the hand printed fabrics from @injalakarts @merrepenarts and more?
She graciously agreed to twirl. Inspiring!! Now where’s my remnant stash?

Can you guess that Janet likes pink? She is visiting from Adelaide and nearly hurled herself at this fabulous Nancy bag made with vintage @bulabulaarts fabric designed by Paddy Dhatangu. It’s the Wallaby and Yam story. Sadly, the screen no longer exists, so it’s extra special 💗

Troy and @kieren_karritpul layering the turquoise tones for this sweet Lily Pads print by Louise Pandella on linen. This design is a bestseller. After the (wonderful and) exhausting trip to Darwin it’s great to be back in the print workshop in Nauiyu playing with colours.

Congratulations on an incredible exhibition and collaboration!! 🤩

Our beloved Karri-djarrk-durrkmiri exhibit has made its way to Darwin and as always the response has been overwhelming ❤️ It’s been an eventful week for us as we visit Australia, being here as the exhibit opens and spending time with our @babbarradesigns family. We’ve also had the best time conducting workshops here in Darwin, block printing with Tharangini and lino printing with the Babbarra team. We hope to have plenty more such opportunities to share this work of cross-cultural artistic collaboration with the world! Tomorrow we spend all day workshopping in Maningrida at the arts centre, so stay tuned 🌷

Thanks Darwin peeps for the fantastic response to @merrepenarts first pop-up. It got too busy to take photos or film everyone so we grabbed this one pic just before bumping out. Tired but very happy. A big 🙏 from @kieren_karritpul and Nola and all the artists from Nauiyu community they were representing and promoting.
Thanks to collaborators @kingkingcreative @topka_studio @dandiartaustralia and Secret Platypus for joining us. What a fantastic 2 days. So sorry @injalakarts couldn’t join us.
Watch this space for more collaborative adventures if the @songlines_arts space remains available for a bit longer.
